PS: Thanks a lot for this poster, Eugene and Nuno

The Ovi and KDE sprint took place at Nokia’s Münich office, where we discussed why integration between KDE and Ovi would be beneficial for both (better user experience, exposure to a large userbase). There I had the pleasure to meet lots of KDE people; Leinir, Frank Karlitschek, Chani, Myriam Schweingruber, Sascha Peilicke, Sivan Greenberg, Mark Kretschmann, Rune Jensen, Arjen Hiemstra, Jonathan, Dinesh, Krzysiek, Knut Yrvin…
After the Ovi sprint, the Qt Developer Days 2010 began. The training sessions took place the first day. Even though some exercises were skipped, I liked it. Days 2 and 3 were focused on showing how cool Qt is. I never thought QML could be that easy, powerful and straightforward. Besides all of the presentations, we also had dinner with the Trolls, played the “fact or crap” game and tried some Meego-powered devices. So yepp, I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward for the 2011 edition
BTW, /me was wearing an openSUSE t-shirt which made Martin Mohring approach me and talk to me. That way I met him.

As I said, I also attended the openSUSE Conference 2010. Dan’s connecting flight was the same as mine (what a coincidence) so we took the Zürich-Nüremberg flight together. The same day we had dinner at Barfüsser with other people who had arrived earlier. Raymond Wooninck (tittiatcoke) drove 400 km in total to join us for the dinner only! Perhaps next time he can stay for a bit longer.
I stayed at the conference hotel. Having the conference and the hotel at the same place was a great idea. The location itself wasn’t that good since it was in the outskirts of Nüremberg but hey you can’t have everything. The very first day I met more fellow contributors… many interesting conversation took place in the hallways, between talks which made me skip some presentations. Besides that, there were some interesting talks taking place at the same time, so I had to choose between one or the other. Frank and I organised a workshop, “the Open-PC case” which went well. There were many attendees interested in getting an Open-PC. I also had the chance to meet and talk with many people: Adrian Schröter and I talked about obs, Nuno Pinheiro showed me some of his Inkscape techinques, I talked with Bruno Friedmann about many things -KDE/Factory too, of course-, I discussed artwork stuff with Gnokii (S. Kemter), Nuno Pinheiro, Robert Lihm and Kai-Uwe Behrmann, testing Factory with Bernhard Wiedeman, how to improve the documentation’s visibility with the Documentation team (Frank, Thomas, Katja, Jürgen) KDE stuff with the KDE people (there were lots of them at the conference),… speaking of KDE stuff, Thomas Thym brought some KDE merchandising to sell.
BTW, Gnokii’s Movie Night was nice. I really liked the free movies he played; not just software has to be made free!
This time I didn’t have time to go for a stroll in the city. From what I saw (little), Nüremberg seems to be a quiet and nice place.
I have to say that it was a great experience, I really enjoyed it and that I’m looking forward for next year’s openSUSE Conference. So yes, it was a big success

Thanks to all the people who made these events possible!

Anyways, I thought it was a great opportunity to promote openSUSE and KDE  in my region, so I organized a workshop: Crea tu propio Live CD (build your own Live CD). Yes, it was a LAN party but there were also Linux-related talks and workshops.

I started by giving an introduction to SUSE Studio, talked a little bit about kiwi and the Build Service, sent the invitations and then the workshop began.I chose to use the KDE template as an example since I am more familiar with it. All the participants (or most of them) already knew KDE but some didn’t know NetworkManager. In fact I had to explain the main functions of NetworkManager. I was also asked questions such as “is it going to be possible to upgrade my image to 11.3?” and I  had to explain the concept of package repository as well. Most of them (if not all) knew that 11.3 was about to be released, however, they had never heard about SUSE Studio or kiwi before. Others had difficulties understanding English, so I take this opportunity to make a call for translating SUSE Studio into other languages such as Spanish
One of the features they really liked was the Java-based virtual machine which allowed them to test the image without having to download it.
At the end of the workshop, I gave them my email address so they can send me questions and receive some guidance as well.
I think I accomplished my mission

Thanks to the organizers of Party Quijote who made this possible!

You may enable this collection of icons Apache-wide and/or Virtual host-based:

- Apache-wide
Add
Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-defaults-oxygen.conf
to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Do not forget to comment the line
Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-defaults.conf

and comment the following as well in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf
Alias /icons/ “/usr/share/apache2/icons/”

Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

Finally, reload/restart Apache by issuing a
service apache2 reload
or
service apache2 restart

- Virtual hosts
Add
Include /etc/apache2/mod_autoindex-defaults-oxygen.conf
to your virtual host configuration file (usually located under /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/).

Finally, reload/restart Apache by issuing a
service apache2 reload
or
service apache2 restart

Have a lot of fun,
Your openSUSE Team

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome!

I have been working on making Apache’s directory listings a bit more beautiful by creating a collection of KDE icons (Oxygen and Crystal). Apache’s default icons are a bit old and not that vivid. In fact, they were originally made for Mosaic. So, what I’ve done is handpicking some Crystal and Oxygen icons, making a few by combining two icons, modifying some Apache’s config files, writing the instructions and, finally, putting everything together. So, now we have apache2-icons-oxygen and apache2-icons-crystal.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adrian Schröter and Peter Pöml for the help and feedback.

The rpm packages are available on my OBS home project:

He hecho un pequeño “howto” en blogdrake para hacer funcionar el DNIe en Mandriva Linux. Como openSUSE también es una distro basada en rpm, y tampoco tiene paquetes “oficiales” para el DNIe, probé en una máquina virtual con la 11.2, y funciona.

Quería pedirte que revisaras un poco los comandos, los completaras, y los pusieras en algún sitio para que la gente que quiera usar el DNIe en openSUSE no tenga problemas. Te resumo un poco aquí los comandos:

Parto de una openSUSE 11.2 actualizada, con el lector de tarjetas configurado
(cada lector es distinto…):

zypper in libopenct1 libopensc2 pinentry pcsc-lite mozilla-nss-tools libreadline5 libltdl3

ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.7

wget http://www.dnielectronico.es/descargas/PKCS11_para_Sistemas_Unix/1.4.6.Fedora_10_32/Fedora_Core_10_opensc-dnie-1.4.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm.tar

tar xvf ./Fedora_Core_10_opensc-dnie-1.4.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm.tar

zypper in ./opensc-0.11.7-7.fc10.i386.rpm

(Creo que elegí la opción 2 – el tema es que continúe la instalación. Tendría
que mirar las opciones de zypper para ver cual es la de forzar la instalación)
Si no sale volver a ejecutar el comando eligiendo otra opción, y diciendo que sí.

rpm -ivh opensc-dnie-1.4.6-2.fc10.i386.rpm

Todo esto como root. A partir de aquí como usuario:

modutil -add DNIE -libfile /usr/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so -dbdir
/home/TUHOME/.mozilla/firefox/NOMBREPERFIL

Faltaría añadir un comando para bloquear la actualización del paquete opensc.
